This is my modern mill deck, Still deciding on cards for sideboard though, mind you all that I am just dipping into modern, let me know what you guys think! I was also toying with the idea of {Shelldock Isle}.
{Visions of Beyond} is great in mill. You really want to be running fetch lands to get the most out of {Hedron Crab}.
I also think cutting 4 {Fog Bank} and 3 {Quicken} to put in some {Extirpate} and more mill spells such as {Archive Trap} would help, possibly adding another BSZ or another sweeper like {Damnation}.
{Szafek, Lord of Secrets} could help. Also, this deck looks really open to Aggro- maybe add {W} for Control or Lifegain, and sideboard 3 {Lazav, Dimir Mastermind.

Well I agree that {Visions of Beyond} is good, just didn't seem to play test that well, I seemed to be drawing them too early and then just wanted to cycle them to get another card. I actually liked the {quicken}s because I was getting the card plus I can cast my plethora sorcery spells at instant speed.
{archive trap}s are in the sideboard because it becomes a slower card if the opponent does not have a deck with fetches and such.
Also I would like to run fetches and {Damnation}s but I don't really have the money to invest, but you are right about that. :/
I really feel like the {fog bank}s are necessary to protect against creatures/flying though.
I appreciate the input though, I will take it into consideration.

Nah the white would work against the deck and slow it down, also {szafek} and {lazav} are too slow, that's why I took out {jace, memory adept} also, just wayyyy too slow for the deck.
Run {Ghost Quarter} alongside {Archive Trap}, then you can "force" them to search.
If you think Archive Traps are slow, you're playing mill incorrectly. Everydevk besides affinity shuffles their deck.

No Rest in Peace in case you hit Tron? I mean you either have surgical extraction or Haunting Echoed AND a quicken you're dead. Just a thought.
Tron isn't completely about the grave though, that is mostly UW version. Th GR version and the u version are the most common. And they are ramp and control.
{Rest in Peace} is out of his colors. I would run {Leyline of the Void} or {Tormod's crypt} side board. {Mindbreak Trap} is also a sb must.
Well like I said this is my first modern deck, So I do appreciate all of the input. I'm not super familiar with the other decks out there.ive Pretty much been a standard player.
So I'll main board the {Archive Trap}s. You think take out the {haunting echoes}? Run the crypt s/b instead? Also do you think it's not worth it to run the {Quicken}s? Also what do you guys think about {twincast}? Is it worth it? I just want this thing to be as fast as possible...
Also Besides the exiling factor I thought that {haunting echoes} was good To draw late game After at least half of their library is in the graveyard It's can probably exile around 20 cards from their library And give me a big lead
Also what should I have to answer {Leyline of Sanctity}???
Cyclonic rift maybe?

{Echoing Truth} is good, also a fan of {Drake Familiar}. Bouncing it and {Surgical Extraction} ing it is a sure fire way, yet still hard to pull off. White Leyline just hurts us. Period.
